Beko Survey Says Only 1 of 10 Consumers Practices Energy Efficiency When Using Appliances
A new survey commissioned by
leading home appliance brand Beko of 6,000 homeowners and renters from across
the globe has shown that 9 in 10 people ignore what’s best when it comes to
energy efficiency in the home.
Among the energy inefficient
behaviors that those surveyed admitted to doing were leaving the fridge door
open when deciding what to eat (29%); leaving the freezer plugged in when it’s
got nothing in it (20%); and leaving gadgets on charge for longer than they
need (37%).
Gen Z is one of the most
knowledgeable demographics when it comes to energy efficiency with over 60% of
them reading instructions whenever they buy a new appliance, according to the
survey. But Gen Z can often make accidental mistakes when it comes to their
appliances with 76% admitting to having used the wrong setting on their
appliance.
Partly to blame for inefficient
energy practices in the home is “settingsphobia,” a term coined by Beko. Almost
3 in 5 (59%) people are worried they’ll choose the wrong setting when using
household appliances, but out of fear stick to the same, sometimes inefficient
setting.
The findings demonstrate a gap
between knowledge and behavior within consumers globally and highlight the need
for greater action in ensuring consumers are maximizing the efficiency of
appliances at home.
“These insights will help us in understanding consumer behavior and
providing information to our customers about the proper use of appliances and
how they can conserve energy while still enjoying modern conveniences like refrigerators
and washing machines.
The data gives us a fascinating
insight into how attitudes towards energy efficiency are evolving across the
globe. At Beko we’re continually striving to provide high quality products that
suit the changing needs of our consumers and of the environment,” said Gürhan Günal, country manager
of Beko Pilipinas Corporation.
